Outline
To explore the impact of subjective economic status on the mental health of the elderly and provide a basis for improving their mental health.
Based on the data from the China Family Panel Studies in 2022, this study was conducted using descriptive analysis, one-way ANOVA, Spearman correlation analysis, multiple linear regression, and heterogeneity analysis.
The proportions of participants who self-rated their economic status as difficult, average, and good were 24.94%, 42.48%, and 32.58%, respectively. There were significant differences in depression levels and life satisfaction among the elderly with different subjective economic statuses (P<0.001). Subjective economic status was significantly negatively correlated with depression levels (r=-0.126, P<0.001), and significantly positively correlated with life satisfaction (r=0.322, P<0.001). Compared with the elderly who self-rated their economic status as difficult, those with an average economic status had significantly lower depression levels (B=-0.568, P=0.002), and significantly higher life satisfaction (B=0.179, P<0.001). Those with a good economic status had significantly lower depression levels (B=-0.430, P=0.037), and significantly higher life satisfaction (B=0.456, P<0.001). The results of the heterogeneity analysis showed that the negative impact of subjective economic status on depression levels was significant among the older adults aged 60-64 years and ≥75 years. The positive impact on life satisfaction was significant in all age groups, with the most prominent effect among older adults aged 65-69 years and a significant effect among those aged ≥75 years only when economic status was good.
A high subjective economic status can significantly reduce depression levels and improve life satisfaction among the elderly, and this impact shows significant group heterogeneity. It is necessary to strengthen the economic security of the elderly, alleviate their life pressure, and thereby improve their mental health status to promote active aging.
